Featured Artist April "Brooklyn Bead Goddess"


Today I am introducing you to a beautiful, creative artist, April, brooklynbeadgoddess . Her work is exceptional. 
Not only does she create beautiful jewelry but she makes her own lampwork glass beads.
Lampwork is used to describe handcrafted glass beads that are made by melting glass rods with a torch. The word lamp was used in ancient times when the glass was melted with the flame of an oil lamp.Today the craft is called flameworking.
Here are a few of April's beautiful pieces of jewelry.

Purple is my color. Love this!

Gorgeous earrings !
